Poultry factory liquidation, 100 jobs lost

Chicken and hen meat wholesaler, Davis Poultry, moved into liquidation on
Friday, resulting in 100 jobs being lost from the central Victorian town of
Maryborough, Austrlia.

Administrators took over the chicken processing site in early August. The
Central Goldfields mayor Geoff Lovett says the closure is a real blow to the
town. "We had been very hopeful that we could avert this outcome," he said,
adding that the creditors made a decision that they would no longer support the
company and hence this decision was made.
